Cien años de soledad - Gabriel Garcia Márquez

I've decided to do this entry chapter by chapter frankly because nobody else is posting and I want to feel like this blog is worthwhile.

Chapter 1: José Arcadio Buendía isn't exactly brilliant. Although he has helped a pueblo to prosper, he seems too easily enticed by gypsies and their "magics". When Buendía dumps all of Úrsula's dowry into a pot and melts it down, hoping to discover the secret of creating gold, his bulb isn't really the brightest. The only positive thing I drew out of chapter 1 was that Buendía was finally able to establish a relationship with his 2 hijos.
